undeniably helped america. before social security, the elderly in this country often lived in extreme poverty. the goal of social security was for senior citizens to live out the rest of their days with some comfort and semblance of dignity.

as far as accomplishing stated goals goes, there hasn't been a single more successful policy this country has enacted since.

Did he infringe on individual rights?

if you consider taxation an infringement on individual rights, then yes, he did. also, you're likely stefan molyneux and about to throw "not an argument" at me as well.

if you think society/civilization is a necessary give and take between autonomy and responsibility, then you likely fall on the side of thinking that social security was a policy that delivered great results and was worth the public investment.

What do you think of Lindon "niggers voting democrat for the next 200 years" B. Johnson?

The Fair Housing Act is terrible

by all accounts, he was a really colorful personality. so I guess he had that going for him. as far as his policies go, I can't say I'm very familiar with much else aside from his pushing of the civil rights act. very small beans compared to FDR and the new deal.

I'm not sure why LBJ is mentioned so frequently alongside FDR. FDR was a transformational and legendary American president. LBJ I see as more of a Reagan/Clinton, in terms of, here's a guy a lot of people liked, but who isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things.

They stopped associating themselves with the klan.

FDR was a badass, still think he should have joined the axis.
